White House sees October vote on US jobs bill

US President Barack Obama's administration is expecting Congress to vote on his sweeping jobs bill in October, a senior advisor said Sunday, dismissing talk of discord over the bill among Democrats.
Obama has encountered stiff resistance from Republicans who make no secret of their desire to bounce him out of the White House next year, but opposition lawmakers, as well as those in his own Democratic party, are under pressure to look beyond the political war and focus on creating jobs to tamp down the stubbornly high unemployment rate.
